Sam looked at the myriad of puppets. All trying to surround him and kill him right then and there.
The thought of admitting defeat and leaving this place didn't even cross his mind. He just kept on thinking for a way out of from this, while jumping around on the red pillars. The fourth set of the golden pillars which are still active are releasing more puppets as the time passed and he knew he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
After running a bunch of scenarios in his head, he decided to go with one of the most feasible ones.
He started creating a large formation surrounding all the puppets in the room. This formation didn't have much purpose. It is neither a barrier, nor is it an attacking formation. It doesn't have any complex functions.
